Groundhog Day (Special Edition) description
Bill Murray does warmth in his most consistently effective post-Stripes comedy, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure cooked up by screenwriter Danny Rubin is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it's Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. He squeezes all the available juice out of every scene. Without forcing the issue, he makes us understand why this fly-away personality responds so intensely to the radiant sanity of the TV producer played by Andie MacDowell. The blissfully clueless Chris Elliott (Cabin Boy) is Murray's nudnik cameraman. --David Chute |

This movie gets better every time I see it.

| Bill Murray stars in this brilliant and classic comedy film as a T.V. weatherman named Phil working for a local station in Pennsylvania, this film has got to be the funniest and best films to come out of the 90's and Bill Murray is at his best as a sarcastic and selfcentered but still charming weatherman, he treats his co-workers with contempt and its utterly hilarious watching Bill Murray as he keeps saying his sarcastic lines. Phil gets sent on an assignment (which he really loathes) to the annual Groundhog Day festivities in Puxsutawney PA where the citizens await the appearance of Puxsutawney Phil the groundhog who will supposedly determine the length of winter by his ability to see his own shadow. Phil Conners gets upset when a blizzard he didn't predict keeps him in town overnight but that is nothing compared to the fact that when he wakes up its February the 2nd all over again, it seems like the calendar has just stopped for Phil and he lives the same day over and over and over ect. and all kinds of hilarious stuff happens. This film however is not just a comedy but is also a character study as Phil realises that nothing changes except himself and how he affects those around him including his new producer Rita played by Andie Macdowell who also develops a relationship with Phil but first she finds him to be very obnoxious but they do eventually fall in love. Bill Murray was fantastic as usual check out the several confrontations between Phil and his old school mate Ned or when Phil decides to rob a bank great stuff, this film was highly entertaining and one of the funniest films I've ever seen. if you liked Groundhog Day then I highly recommend these other Bill Murray films Caddyshack, Scrooged, What About Bob, Stripes, Rushmore and Kingpin. |
